To start first make sure you have the schedule by getting it from your staff person or your coach. The 2015 Sprummer training schedule can be downloaded at

Once you have the PDF file open it you’ll see several pages.

The First page is our Saturday Long Run Schedule

Saturdays are when Team gets together for their long runs. Now let’s look at the rest of each column. You'll see:

• The Week
• Date of training
• Start time of training
• Length of training depends on your event.
• The next three to four columns indicate location of training based on the closest city you live in. 
• Example: If Today was February 7th and your training for the Soldier Field 10 you’ll be training at Braeside Train Station Place for 30 minutes if you are on the North Team.

Please refer to your staff and coach emails for directions to training. 

The last column will indicate if the Coaches will feature aclinic that will take place after training.

The other pages are each month that you in training. Each month has it’s own page.

The monthly calendars are the days participants train on their own.  At a closer look:

If you have participated in more than one endurance event and you want to challenge yourself. 

Remember that the schedule is a guide and not written in stone. Contact your coach to help modify your schedule to your needs. Your coaches can help you rearrange the schedule due to personal and job conflicts. Or your coach can modify it so you can train properly if you are injured.  Good luck on your training.
